[Solved] Window as Modal doesn't disable events on parent window

[Darren Furr]

I'm launching the Telerik Window with .modal(true).  However, when doing this - I can still use the Tab key to move from control to control on the parent window.

Is this a bug or do you have a recommendation for disabling the keyboard events on the parent window?

Thanks for the help,

Hi Darren,

This behavior is expected - you can't completely block the browser's page (like it is done when for example window.alert() is called) as this is something that cannot be done with JavaScript. What I could suggest in your case is to use Window's OnOpen and OnClose events and manually intercept the keys that you don't want to be active while a Window is shown. This StackOverflow article shows one way to prevent the Tab key with jQuery.

Kind regards,

Yep - that's what I thought.  Exactly what I needed.  Just disabled tab & space.

Thanks Georgi.
